The <strong>Bank</strong> has a long term motivation and retention scheme for its employees. The liability of the <strong>Bank</strong> in respect of<br />
the scheme for each year, if any, is fixed, and is accounted for in the year to which the scheme relates.<br />
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are accounted for<br />
using a "corridor" which is the greater of 10% of the value of the plan assets or 10% of the defined benefit obligation at<br />
the end of the last reporting year. These limits are calculated and applied separately for each defined benefit plan.<br />
Actuarial gains and losses in excess of the "corridor" are credited or charged to the profit and loss account over the<br />
employees' expected average remaining working lives.<br />
Actuarial gains and losses pertaining to long term compensated absences are recognized in the profit and loss account<br />
immediately.<br />
Subordinated loans are initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received. Mark-up accrued on subordinated loans is<br />
recognised separately as part of other liabilities and is charged to the profit and loss account over the period on an<br />
accrual basis.<br />
Revenue is recognized to the extent that the economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the <strong>Bank</strong> and<br />
the revenue can be reliably measured. The following recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognized:<br />
Mark-up / return / interest on performing advances and investments is recognized on a time proportionate basis over the<br />
term of the advances and investments. Where debt securities are purchased at a premium or discount, such premium /<br />
discount is amortized through the profit and loss account over the remaining period of maturity.<br />
Interest or mark-up recoverable on non-performing or classified advances and investments is recognized on a receipt<br />
basis. Interest / return / mark-up on rescheduled / restructured advances and investments is recognized when received<br />
or as required by overseas regulatory authorities of the countries where the branches operate, except where, in the<br />
opinion of the management, it would not be prudent to do so.<br />
Fee, brokerage, commission and other income is recognized on an accrual basis.<br />
Grants received are recorded as income when the related expenditure is incurred.<br />
5.14 Foreign currencies<br />
5.14.1 Functional and presentation currency<br />
Items included in these unconsolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic<br />
environment in which the <strong>Bank</strong> operates. These unconsolidated financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupees,<br />
